Sort Lines
About Sort Lines
Sorting lines alphabetically turns an unordered list into something you can scan and check. Useful for names, references, keywords and any list somebody will need to find an entry in.
How to use it
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Sort it.
- Copy the ordered list.
Worth knowing
Alphabetical sorting puts numbers and capitals before lowercase letters, so '10' can land before '9' and 'Zebra' before 'apple'. Consistent formatting avoids most surprises.
Common questions
- Can I sort in reverse?
- Sort, then reverse the result if you need descending order.
- Are blank lines removed?
- Empty lines sort together; strip them first if you want a clean list.
